"Quinoa dominates just about all the whole grains because it has lysine, one of the nine essential amino acids that you must get from your diet because your body can't synthesize it. Other grains have some lysine content, but not enough to count; quinoa's lysine content is sufficient for it to be considered a complete protein. If you make quinoa the side dish to a chicken breast, you're not only getting all the benefits from a whole grain offers (no insulin spike, increased satiety, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, improved gastrointestinal health); you're also getting an extra serving of high-quality protein."
